Our Beautiful Sarasota Sunset on Siesta Key!

Just Another night after work....

Powder sugar sand

Cool breeze coming off the Gulf

My fleece jacket may be misleading

It is actually about 78 degrees

I've just turned into a big whimp

Good thing I've got handsome by my side

Just over 3 months till the big day...

We've got somethings to look forward to till then

*Texas in April

*Em is going to Michigan in May

Then it's June! Let the festivities begin!!

Why did we wait till the absolute last day in

June again?

Today we hung out with Shamu, and his friends the dolphins,

sea otters, and the whale. We spent the day at Seaworld!

We now have passes to go back everyday for free!!

It was a lot of fun. Definatly different from when I was a kid.

Our highlight was the Killerwhale show... however

... Ben was ecstatic about the "Shark Encounter".

And no mom.... we didn't sit in the "splash zone"

I actually didn't want to get wet... unlike when I

cried last time because you didn't let us sit there! ;)

Ahhhh memories!!

And the best part of the day was when

I found out that I was officially an "Aunt Em".

My new nephew Hudson James Holtvluwer was born!

The view from on top of the Myakka River Dam.
We were checking out the Gators.

A few nights prior to the gator hunt. The pretty lady that keeps me company took the picture of the sunset as we dodged raindrops before a seafood dinner.

We've been looking for a new car and traded in the idea of a 4WD SUV for a power scooter built for two.........
PSYCHE!!!!! Check out the sweet biker chick on the back

On the fourth of April our lives were changed,
over hundreds of miles our worlds rearranged.
Not long after we knew our time had come,
We'd found our match and had nowhere to run.
So I've found my Emily and she's found her Ben,
In these short months we've gone from "if" to "when"!
